Fall Classic 2020

Submitted by webguy on Mon, 10/26/2020 - 10:04

Despite COVID-19 restrictions, water pollution issues and everything else Mother Nature threw our way, we kept the streak alive and held the 42nd Annual Fall Classic Oct 25, 2020. An abbreviated Sunday only event, we still were able to get 2 races off in a light northern breeze in warm conditions for late October. Most participants wore only a shorty or went without.

We are all looking forward to keeping the streak alive next year! Our thanks to Chris Voith for organization; and Debi Baber and David Wade for support. Much appreciation to the Lake Lanier Sailing Club for hosting us. And thanks to our perennial sponsors, Sandy Point Progressive Sports (Aerotech Sails, Epic Gear, Exocet & Kona), who have been consistent sponsors for years. Thanks, Steve, Marty and Cody.

Because of possible water contamination issues, we are postponing to the weekend of Oct 24-25. We apologize for any inconvenience but we want to keep every one safe.

Keeping the tradition and our streak alive! The Atlanta Fall Classic is the longest running windsurfing event in the country– 2020 marks 42 years! We haven't been stopped by hurricanes (Michael 2018) nor will Murder Hornets of 2020 stop us. However, we heard there was a bug going around so we'll be doing things a bit differently this year...

Why we are Windsport Atlanta

Submitted by webguy on Tue, 06/02/2020 - 16:04

A few years ago we changed our website name to windsportatlanta.com. While for many of us, windsurfing would always have the first place in our heart, we recognized that there are so many ways to enjoy the wind: windsurf, kitesurf, wings, foils, sailboats, windskates and more. What brings us all together here is the thrill we all get when we feel a fresh breeze blowing against our face.

Kai Lenny, arguably the best waterman on the planet at the moment, demonstrates this with a day at Hookipa with all his wind toys: kitesurf, wingfoil, windsurf.
